The Chargers and cornerback Richard Marshall agreed to a one-year deal on Friday.

Marshall, cut earlier this week by the Dolphins, reunites with secondary coach Ron Milus. The two were together with the Panthers, who drafted Marshall out of Fresno State with a second-round pick in 2006. In addition, Mike McCoy was a Panthers offensive aide in Marshall's first three NFL seasons and Ken Whisenhunt was his Cardinals head coach in 201. For Arizona, the 5' 11" 190-pounder had three interceptions and started nine games.

Marshall, 28, visited the Chargers on Thursday and the Jaguars on Friday.

The 59-game starter, who has 18 career interceptions, was to make $4.55 million before the Dolphins cut him.

In two exhibition games, the Chargers started at cornerback Derek Cox, the ex-Jaguar signed last offseason, and Shareece Wright, a first-time starter who has appeared in 17 regular-season games. Saints castoff Johnny Patrick has been the lead nickel back. Rookie corner Steve Williams was expected to make the 53-man roster before a torn pectoral muscle ended his season on Aug. 15.

It's unclear what Marshall's role will be the Chargers. It's expected that he'll push Patrick for duty as a slot corner.
